Didn't the L4D guys announce they're doing another zombie thing? Dead 2 Rights? Back 4 Blood? Something like that

Doubt it. I'm guessing headsets that support the actual SteamVR program. Which is most of them.
I'm hearing one thing and reading another. Maybe it's both? I'd have to ask around.
Not sure. Probably.
You guys are breaking my heart.
No
No - but PSVR2 better be forward thinking enough to support it.
A caveat to my previous post...
I feel for a new VR title to be truly revolutionary it has to solve the movement problem. Which I don't see how this could, short of shipping with a treadmill.
However, VR controllers were practically made for the gravity and portal guns, so I'm sure there will be some cool puzzle applications there.

Valve obviously know the VR audience is a niche audience. They are not making this game for the big bucks, they are making it because the truly want to push VR tech forward. They are one of the only videogame companies that are in the position where they can eat a loss on a project like this.
I have a feeling that this game will sell a lot of Indexes.
PSVR's tracking/input is too limited. And most likely the PS4 is not powerful enough to drive this (assumption) heavily physics driven VR game.
Well given the storyline of the series, it wouldn't exactly be shocking if it was both a prequel and a sequel.
Like I said, I'll gladly be wrong because I don't care for exclusives and want everyone to experience it. But after the issues with patch certification on consoles Valve vocally gave up on them.
VR platforms haven't been announced yet, speculating what it could be on aint port begging
That game was also left to die on consoles. Like TF2 the PC versions are so different now it's basically not even the same game
Not a huge fan of HL in general so it's not like this will make me run out and grab a VR headset, but I don't know what all the non-VR peeps are worried about. If this is worth playing, a non-VR mod will happen sooner than later or Valve will release an official version after the initial sales dry up.
If they want this to be a real 'Flagship' VR game there would be basically no way to port it to a 2d game.
I wasn't even aware Steam had their own VR? So chances of this coming to PSVR and maybe future Xbox VR are slim?
Everything that's SteamVR is Oculus compatible. No begging required.
Probably this, although I feel Resident Evil 7 handled this pretty well. There were definitely a few bits in RE7 that basically did the 3D movie thing where something gets thrown at the screen just to demonstrate the tech, like there's a few scenes where someone screams in your face or holds a knife to your face etc that were clearly more designed for VR.
And yeah, I expect the HL game to go pretty hard on VR specific stuff similar to how a bunch of stuff in HL2 felt like them experimenting /showcasing the tech.
To be fair there's 100% going to be a non-VR version, even if only through mods.
Indeed, we were. My faith in the holy trinity of games has never been stronger. It's only a matter of time now.
